The lord hunted down by the game

Chapter 83 Only one infantry regiment can be produced
"How many troops can South Carolina provide for the coming expedition?"

In the renovated Governor's Mansion in Charleston, Yuri asked Jackson.

After the establishment of the United States of America, whether Jackson wanted it or not, he had already been labeled a 'traitor'.

Whether it is the British Empire or the Anglophiles in the thirteen North American states, Jackson will be regarded as a traitor second only to the Sauron family.

Who said that Jackson and the Sauron family were of noble origin, and the nobles betrayed their original motherland and class, and no doubt they were even more hated.

Therefore, if Jackson wants to keep his current position, he must closely follow the Sauron family's political policy, and Yuri is also Jackson's biggest life-saving talisman.

My family knows their own affairs. Regardless of the fact that South Carolina has become a part of the Commonwealth of America, in fact there are still many hidden Anglophiles and neutrals in South Carolina.

After all, the southern states were not too heavily exploited by the British Empire, and the influence of anti-British forces here has always been weak.

There is no other reason, only interest.

Therefore, when Jackson followed Yuri's 'instructions' and started recruiting the Northern Expedition, things didn't go smoothly at all.

When the original militia and gun mobs heard that they were going to leave their hometown to 'invade', most of them went home and quit.

They are not a regular army, so naturally they don't need to be bound by military law.

Unless Jackson, like the Sauron family, plays forced conscription...

Jackson's family is not as deep-rooted as the Sauron family's rule in Georgia!

Not to mention that Anglophiles in South Carolina were waiting for Jackson to commit outrage.

The political influence of the current American Federation is very weak, especially in the southern states. Most people, both the powerful and the common people, regard this country as a continuation of the ambitions of the Sauron family.

Therefore, many people are reluctant to participate.

The common people did not regard the American Union as the basis for their independence, and the powerful did not believe that the American Union could really defeat the British Empire, the current world hegemon.

Therefore, South Carolina, which originally had tens of thousands of armed forces, when Jackson really went to recruit the Northern Expedition, an embarrassing situation appeared...

Even among the regular army, there were many voices of opposition. They either threatened to retire or defended their hometown as a reason. Anyway, they just didn’t want to participate in the Northern Expedition!

Because most of the soldiers in South Carolina thought that the Northern Expedition was making a wedding dress for the Sauron family, and it wasn't worth it!

"General Yuri, South Carolina has just experienced a major war. The civilians are very tired of the war, and the morale of the army has not been raised, so most people are unwilling to continue fighting. Even if I use special means, I can only recruit one infantry regiment. The strength of the..."

There is no fixed number of infantry regiments in this era, but according to North American traditions, a full infantry regiment plus cooks and other personnel may have about 3000 to [-] people.

This person is not as good as the Yuri Legion that Yuri just established!
Even if the current Yuri Legion is just an empty frame that has just been erected, there are 2000 musketeers, dozens of small and medium-caliber mortars and field guns, including 10 3-pounder field guns and 2 6-pounder field guns.

The two six-pound field guns are the latest models, and their effective range can reach hundreds of meters!
In the thirteen states of North America, this thing can already be used as the main field artillery.

This is not to say that the 6-pound artillery of this era is a large-caliber artillery. In terms of caliber alone, dozens of pound artillery abound, and there are dozens of them on a large battleship.

However, the transportation of large-caliber artillery is a big problem. After a long period of combat experience, the armies of various countries in this era have concluded that the best used in field battles is the six-pound to twelve-pound artillery.

If it is small, its power is insufficient, and if it is large, it will be difficult to transport.

Among them, the classic twelve-pounder cannon can already be used as a siege gun.

Therefore, the current Yuri Legion's combat effectiveness is still good. In terms of the number of artillery alone, it is already comparable to the artillery of the entire colonial state army.

After all, Yuri had plundered the city of Savannah and gathered artillery in Charleston.

Savannah originally had a British regular army, and the number of artillery equipment was naturally not comparable to that of the colonial army.

In order to deal with the war with Yuri, Charleston mobilized most of the main artillery in the entire state, and it turned out that Yuri was all cheaper...

Because of the sudden appearance of the test soldiers, the cannons were seized without being fully utilized.

After Yuri heard Jackson's answer, his face darkened.

"I am very disappointed in Governor Jackson's ability."

Although the political status of the two is equal, Yuri obviously wants to stabilize Jackson at this time.

This is mainly because Jackson knows how terrifying Yuri is, and he also understands that as long as Yuri is willing, it will not be a problem to massacre the entire state of South Carolina!

However, it would be of no benefit to Yuri to do so.

If everyone is killed, who will plant the land to produce food?

Who will do the work to produce all kinds of daily necessities?

Where do young people get trained into the army?

Yuri understood a truth as early as his previous life - talents are the foundation of a country!

In Yuri's previous life, the population was enough, so the demand for people was elevated to the demand for talents.

But in this era, not to mention talents, as long as an adult man is in any country, he is a precious asset.

No matter how bad you are, you can still be a miner!

Therefore, it is normal to capture prisoners in the wars of this era.

Those who are defeated and surrendered on the battlefield are often not killed. After all, those who can serve as soldiers are high-quality young men. Whether they are recruited to be civilian husbands or miners, they are scarce resources.

And if it is a prisoner of war from a big country, the two sides will exchange prisoners of war after the war, and the prisoners of war have the hope of returning home.

Therefore, it is normal for ordinary soldiers to surrender on the battlefield in this era and will not be discriminated against.

On the contrary, it is an officer of noble origin, once surrendered, it will become a political stain for life.

The big soldiers don't have to worry about leaving stains on their careers in politics.

In this world where people rely on reincarnation to get ahead, as long as they are not unlucky, there is no need to consider becoming an official.

However, it is easy for children of aristocratic backgrounds to become officials, so most children of aristocrats pay attention to the spirit of chivalry. Not surrendering is the most basic chivalry morality!
Especially those officers of the elite corps with their own halo of honor, they regard death in battle as a kind of glory...

The higher the position, the more concerned about the honor in this regard, so many generals in this era would choose to commit suicide by swallowing a gun after being defeated.

In this way, you can become a hero and win a lot of political points for your family.
